Day 9: Hope Is Here

I always want to

 SEE HOPE,

because

I always want

 HOPE,

therefore

I am always anticipating

the

CHANGE

that

HOPE

brings.

HOPE~

the GREAT EXPECTATION

for

THE GOOD

to happen.

But what is THE GOOD?

Is GOOD based on this happening or that happening,

or is

 THE GOOD

that

GOD IS HAPPENING,

even if this or that is not happening?

Hmm.

HOPE

is

BELIEVING

GOD IS ALWAYS HAPPENING.

HOPE

puts its TRUST in the UNSEEN

for

"We are saved by trusting. And trusting means looking forward to getting something we don’t yet have—for a man who already has something doesn’t need to HOPE

and trust that he will get it.

 But if we must keep trusting GOD

for something that hasn’t happened yet,

it teaches us to wait patiently and confidently" (Romans 8:24-25).

HOPE is all around us

because

GOD is all around us.

HOPE never dies

because

JESUS DIED

to bring us

REAL HOPE,

that is out of this world,

yet it is held

so tightly on the

INSIDE

 that it

makes

 everything

 CHANGE

because

HOPE

changes your

 HEART.

And as your

HEART

changes

HOPE becomes so REAL

that it turns

into

REAL JOY

that is everlasting.

So even if

you & I

 don't SEE HOPE on the outside

oh it is there,

because

GOD takes you

deeper & deeper

into

HIS HEART

which brings

HOPE to your HEART~ 

"Therefore we do not lose heart.

Though outwardly we are wasting away,

yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day"

(2 Corinthians 4:16).

CHRISTMAS IN JULY!

NEW HOPE IS HERE

for

GOD WORKS ALL THINGS FOR THE GOOD

of those

WHO LOVE HIM (Romans 8:28).

THE GOOD

is the CHANGE that happens

 on the INSIDE

as GOD uses

ALL THINGS

ALL PEOPLE

ALL PLACES

for

 your

GOOD

because

HE takes the HOPELESS things

that BREAK your HEART,

to draw you every so closer to

HIS HEART

to a place where it becomes

just you and HIM.

Because when you

experience

REAL HOPE,

GOD takes you out of this world

and into

HIS WORLD~

"My HOPE is built on nothing less.

 Than JESUS' blood and righteousness.

 I dare not trust the sweetest frame. 

But wholly lean on JESUS' name.

HOPE is found in nothing else,

 but JESUS CHRIST"

 ("ON SOLID ROCK").

So even if you and I can't

SEE CHANGE on the outside

it doesn't mean

HOPE doesn't exist.

What if nothing in your world has changed on the outside,

but everything has changed in your INSIDE,

would that be enough?

Is there a

BROKEN RELATIONSHIP

or a

BROKEN CIRCUMSTANCE

that is causing

the BROKEN FEELING

of HOPELESSNESS

in your heart,

that is causing you to

HOPE LESS?

Are you ready to let go of the

LESS from HOPE?

Oh I know I am.

CHRISTMAS IN JULY!

Therefore,

will you join me

 and take your eyes off of

what appears to be

UNCHANGING on your OUTSIDE world

by fixing your eyes

on WHO IS SEEN in ALL THINGS at ALL TIMES,

so that

HOPE becomes so alive

that you

 become ever so alive

because

JESUS becomes so alive in you,

that all you can

SEE

is HOPE

because

JESUS IS HERE.

CHRISTMAS IN JULY~

"HOPE IN FRONT OF ME"
